There's nothing sacred to these iiirty reds. Read this letter that NNW printed in the New• York Times Sunday. Let's send Mr. Hayes back to the country he came from, boys To the Editor of the New York Time::: The recent. article of Franklin Clarkin in the Times must awaken again in the heart of every pa triotic American a real longing for a national an theni which would be a credit to his country's in telligence and culture, as well as an inspiration to its people. Apart from their militaristic spirit, to which exception has been taken, the words of "The Star- Spangled Banner" are frightful bathos in addition to being execrable poetry. As to its music, the cont.' position outrages almost every rule, a's has been pointed cut on so many occasions Cannot we put this unworthy union of bad verse and worse music away with America's swaddling clothes and adopt an anthem in march time, of intel ligent musical composition, with words of nobility •in appropriate stanzas, that would be a pleasure to ,ing and hear, by which we could be stirred to ex alted feeling, and of which we might, justifiably, be proud? K. SHERIHAN HAYES Washington, D. C., Dec. 9, 1935. GOV. EARLE'S SPEECHES Earlier in the year the COLLEGIAN called attention to the speeches of Governor Earle, commending him for his stand in the fight against fascism and for freedom of speech Recently at a convention of college editors in Pitts burgh Governor Earle said, "We cannot fashion educa tion pills and force them down the throats of our stu- (kilts. We cannot suppress facts or theories which may not please the wealthy contributors to our institutions of learning." It is not ha'rd to imagine the embarrassment of Chancellor Bowman, of the University of Pittsburgh, who was sitting at the same table. Chancellor Bowman has been involved in more than one disgusting tangle with academic freedom because he wanted to . please some "wealthy contributors." In the words of Tames 'Wechsler, former editor of the Columbia Spectator, in his exceedingly interesting book, "Revolt on the Camp us," "In Pittsburgh Mellon is God and Bowman is his Gabriel." Chancellor Bowman has been subjected to a great deal of bitter criticism by academic societies and news papers which see, as the COLLEGIAN does, the opening wedge of fascism in our colleges and universities in his Hitler-like activities. But all of the criticism of Chancellor Bowman by societies and newspapers is not as quickly felt by that gentleman as a reproach from the head of this com monwealth. Governor Earle is to be congratulated for his liberal stand in this question and his willingness to face the opposition of the American Legion, the D. A. it., and the Liberty League. THE NAZI OLYMPICS The fight against the participation of United States' athletes in the coming Olympics is still being bitterly fought despite the fact that by a narrow• margin the A. A. U. has voted for participation. The fight and its outcome has caused the resignation of many figures high in the A. A. U. Germany, according to a Nazi press release;in the New York Times Sunday, is assum ing an attitude 'of total indifference to the opposition in this country. The press release, obviously propaganda, says that the German people don't give a hoot whether anybody from America attends the Olympics or not because a capacity attendance is already assured. • The German people may be able to fill their stadium with case without any help from the the, American people. But certainly they will feel our opposition to their form of government which thrives on the oppres sion of 'minorities and the brutal hysteria orpittipnal ism, if we fail to send any representative athletes there THERE WERE A lot of bitter aspects to the story of Nate Cartmell's speech in Harris burg which was printed in the last issue of this paper. But we found, in the whole black busi ness, one tiny, but, brilliant, ray of sunshine. Nate had just lost his job and had gone to Dean' Robert Lemuel Sackett for advice and consolation. , We quote: "Sackett then asked MC if I was mar ried. I said I was. 'Do you have any children?' he asked. 'No,' I answered. 'You know,' said Sackett, 'they are a lot of comfort and you can have a lot of fun with them.'" This cheered us. In. fact; we found it such a delicate sentiment that our ordinarily cynical and always lethargic soul was moved to write a verse about it. We call it—and this is probably the Most unfortunate part of the whale business—simply: I %VISO. YOU'D TRIOLET ME CHEER YOU UP, NATE" —.Richard E. Lewis '37 T.swnsenti Swnini Jolly Times Department The Phi Epsilon Kappa boys sent an announce ment of the annual cabin party which the phys ed fret will hold tonight. This paragraph, which we lifted, gives an idea of how the muscle momzers enjoy them selves: "The affair is always a jolly one and this year the get-together is expected to surpass all previous similar affairs. A dinner, short talks by faculty mem bers, and games of various nature constitute the pro gram for the evening. The outstanding event of the evening will be a talk by Director Bezilek on some of the complex problems in the field of physical educa tion and athletics." Bez shnukl know About Town and Campus: We note with pleasure that Mr. Ebert has un packed his cream and orchid floodlights and has train ed them on the Old Main Tower. They are supposed to have something to do with Christmas, we believe. We don't like to seem presumptive, but isn't there any tinsel around with which you could drape the cows on Main Engineering building, Nri. Ebert? . . . William C. Smith, campus cop, was out deer hunt ing Saturday. The Sandwich Shop queen with whom he had a date that night waited and waited, but W. C. S. just didn't show up. She called the office half a dozen times. They finally helped her investigate, found Smith asleep in bed . . Why does McGovern insist on sitting, in .417 Old Main 'day and night, making wise cracks while people are trying to listen. to records? . . Walt Alexander, Saturday night, announced some Phi Dolt 'pug as a Phi Mu Delt. Both houses boned, but we think the Phi Mu Delts booed louder . . . Steve Yannes ':3B is 'worried. Anne Orner, Blooms burg, has been writing letters to a lot of .her pals around here trying to find out. hat kind of girls Ile dates around school. They don't know, but they told Yannes about it, and he never even heard of the Eddie Binns says the script of "Pursuit of Hap piness" calls for three clinches with Lucille Giles in the blmdling scene from that play which the Players are rehearsing. Lucille says there are two. The other night Eddie was waxing eloquent on the sub ject when he saw Bob Morini, the D. U. Duke, who is Lucille's love interest, sitting down in the auditorium. Director Neusbaum was all for throilng Morini out, but didn't press the point, so ilinns give in, mutter ing "It's in the script, but what chance do I have? ... Have a good vacation . . .

CINEMA NIA Myrna Loy gives cause for rejoic ing in her return to the screen, this time in'"Whipsaw," which plays for the last times today at the Cathaum. Spencer Tracy. Makes a most accept able, leadifkg man for Miss Loy, and the success of "The Thin Man" has led MGM. to produce a rollicking film with most ofthe qualities that made the Powell-Loy ,flicker the smash it was. Miss Loy plays the part of an in ternational jewel ,thief, pursured pro fessionally as well as romantically by Tracy as . a G-man. He forces' her to play the part of his wife to get out of a tight situation; there are pur suits and battles; and i)f_ course the eventual reformation of Miss Loy. Another picture of the amateur hour• cycle pulls into the Cathaum to morrow with • the showing of "Mil lions in the Air." The names in this opus aren't big ones as Hollywood goes, but the combination spells en tertainment. Sohn Howard and * lovely Wendy Barrie.•,'are romantically fea tured, and have Abe support of such fun-makers Howard, Ben ny Baker, and •George Barbier. In addition, another Bill "Bojan gles" Robinson protege is brought to the fore. It's 18-year-old Eleanor Whitney, and as a flash dancer she piece. Speed dancing is the tap fad now, and the inclusion of a tap dance act in a film about radio isn't out of place either, when one 'considers the case of Eleanor Powell, now on a na. , tional net with • her tricky rhythms. Not that it matters, but Miss •Whit ney can produdce 60 taps in four sec onds while the best a machine gun could do in the same period was 52 shots. .

BEAVER AND PIP= COMPLETE YOUR CHRISTMAS BANQUET MENU WITH FISHBURN'S TURIkEYS, CHICKENS & ROASTS Phone 375 Between The Lions -By WALT t•REUNSCII - Thanks for the Send-off, J. V. ! ! * 0. K., Frothy. let's talm the horse shoes out of our gloves and abide by the precepts of the M. of Q. Riddle me this, through as un jaundiced eyes as possible: 1. What other attempts have been made to express effective disapprov al of "filler's policies? In other words, why pick itn the genies as a means? Are not the Olympian ideals operative in other fields of , activity? Why are we seeking to apply them only in connection with the games? 2. Will not a boycott do more harm to international. relations ,than participation with the glare of world publicity ready to show up any overt act of hostility?L 3. In the matter of discrithina tion, American colleges had better look to the cleanliness of their,own skirts before being' too anxious. to condemn others. What about the raw deals handed to colored ath letes seeking places on. U. S. col lege teams? What about State . Co llege's non-athletic discrimination against them? 4. Why must it be considered tac it approv'at of.Hitlerism.if. we 'par ticipate at Berlin? There are other ways of showing disapproval that will not set at naught the years of training that the American ath letes have undergone for the 1936 games.
